Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Today is what life is all about.
When I desire for the future to arrive quickly,

all my energies on the future, I shortchange today.
Likewise, fearing the future emasculates today,
leaving it dry and lifeless.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

At the beginning of a relationship
we are attracted to the other person because

turns to whether we feel appreciated.
If we don't feel appreciated, we don't feel loved.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens,

While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to

No matter how strong or clever,

There are those who will never admit it.

we have been stuck, incapacitated,
or blown off course for awhile.
